This series is a major comeback fantasy story based on the popular light novel by To Kamiki, published under Kodansha’s “K Ranobe Books” imprint. It’s also being serialized as a comic adaptation by Yonezou on Nico Nico Manga’s “Wednesday no Sirius”. The franchise has already smashed through 4.8 million copies in total circulation! Under the direction of Kobe Youkou, the animation is being handled by animation studio42. The protagonist, Orun Duura, is voiced by Ootsuka Takeo.
The story kicks off with our hero, Orun Duura, getting the boot from his childhood friend and leader of the “Hero’s Party”, Oliver, under the pretext of lacking strength. This is a huge blow for Orun, who had switched from being a [Swordsman] to a [Enchanter] for the party’s sake, supporting his comrades with his uniquely developed magic. To make matters worse, the friends he shared hardships with mock him as a “jack of all trades” and already have a replacement lined up. Heartbroken but determined, Orun bids farewell to the “Hero’s Party” and starts fresh as a solo adventurer. Lost memories, the power to confront injustice, and a series of new encounters are about to drastically change Orun’s fate.
